Hi @vickiebarker, the city is actually located near the banks of the holy river Yamuna which has a huge significance in the Hindu religion. the water is considered to be called as holy because of its significance of being the only biggest necessity of a human. also, the river flows through Mathura and various other states as well. the banks of the river ( also known as the ghats) are a very calm place to be. you will feel really connected to the universe once you step foot at the ghat. this is also mainly because these ghats are near the temple itself. kindly follow me for more such descriptive analysis of my life . your profile also looks great..cetrainly deserves many more followers :D
